spring elections in Chicago and Cincinnati are
unusually good. Democratic frauds III both
cities have been cut Off to a considerable ex-
tent by new election laws. In Chicago, Carter
Harrison sees the handwriting on the wall,
and be wants time to consider the adylsablhty
Of accepting a denomination. In previou>
contests he was so anxious to run that he an
nOunced himself as a candidate before the con =
yeptlOns were held. The chance for an honest
election makes great difference with Carter.
A little more vigilance in prosecuting
offences against the health laws in the tene-
ment districts would undoubtedly have bcne
fetal effect. 1t is gratifying to find the Health
Board moving in that direction. 1t Is well
that the owners of tenement-house property
should be made to understand that In future
fines will be imposed for every failure promptly

itary laws There should be no favortism IN
this matter.
Secretary Whitney had good reason to feel
eratifed over the bids made yesterday for the
manufacture of ar1nor plates and gun steel.
The prices were apparently reasonable, and
there is now every prospect that the country
will soon be in possession Of the necessary
plant to manufacture steel for guns and armor.
For this result the Senate must be given Its
share of the credit. If the House could have
had its way the Secretary would not have
been able to enter into such large contracts.
and no company could make reasonable bid
except for a large contract.
New jersey is in need of legislation that VIII
throw greater safeguards around the ballot

district This bill also provides that the polls
shall close at p. m, another excellent pro
vision Now if some method could be devised
of preventing the Democrats from altering the
returns as they did at the last election, IN
order to steal United States Senator, there
would be greater hope for the immediate future
of that State.
The new Rapid Transit Commission should
not voluntarily waste any time in considering
proects for elevated reals i'll Broadway and
other such streets. There is need of more
yanid transit facilities to the upper part Of the
island, as it has already determined, but This
want cannot he supplied by any such pfepoS
. ferrous scheme as that for an elevated ROAD IN
Broadway. Real rapid transit cannot bc sup
piled by trains that have to stop at every
station as is the case on the elevated roads
What the city needs is underground roads on
which trains can he run at rapid rate with
few stops. This is a branch OF the subject

The railroad is practically completed
to Sturgis and within few days the
line will be turned over to the operating
department by the construction company
and regular trains running. Then We
will have railway connections with the
east and an outlet for our bullion, quartz,
cattle and other commodities produced
in the country. While we are now in
possession Of these facilities, the problem
must yet be solved whether and how
they are benefit to us. One thing is
certain, however, the building Of rail-
road into country like this revolution
ICES matters, changing the old-time ways
of the average business man, who has to
change his "system" in order to keep
apace with the fashion.
Perhaps sonae were inflated with the
idea the road would bring more money,
new people and infuse new blood into
the masses, and if they have been dis
appointed, they are no worse off Stur-
gis still occupies the pre- eminent position
Of being the foremost town of the valleys,
and is surrounded with the same natura4
resources and manifold advantages she
has had for years. And now is the time
to develop her resources, utilize her adj
vantages and crowd her to the front, ever
keeping her banner unfurled and float
ing, bearing the beautiful and forcib1e
motto Excelsior There are many
things to be done, and many to do it,
and the only way to accomplish the ends
desired is to get to work, never losing
sight of the fact that money as well as
muscle and brains must be used.
Sturgis must have a street car line
from the depot to Ft. Meade. Tt viii
be a paying investment, and add tone to
the town.. Build it, then talk about the
project.
Sturgis must have electric lights if
she wishes to keep up with the progress
of her sister towns. The lights are SUI
perior to kerosene, fully as cheap, much
safer and cleaner. Push the project at
once to successful termination. The
power could be secured at nominal
figure at McIver Bros planning mill.
Sturgis must have water works among
other things. There would then be
some protection from fire, our rate Of in
surance would be less, and the town.
would have better credit in eastern
commercial circles. A plan, should be
adopted by which;a water supply would
be provided for Sturgis at an early
day.
There is tie Galena road that needs
attention and united effort
to force it through this fall.
Many other matters of less impor-
lance might be referred to with perfect
but until those mentioned
are satisfactorily disposed of we will
allow the others to lay in their dormant
state. If there is an old fogey or
tickle minded dude inbued with tho be-
lief that the town will grow with as little
effort as Canadian thistle, he must dis
pei that erroneous impression at once
and put shoulder to the wheel and a
hand on his pocket book.

COMMISSIONER SPARKS REPORT.

Commissioner Sparks has submitted
to the secretary of the interior his re-
port for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1887. From. it we make few excerpts,
as follows: During the year the total
number of acres of land restored to, the
public domain. was 3a,824, 481, and of
the railroad lands recommended for re-
coVery and will, cases pending there are
8, 499, 400 acres. The sales, entries and
selections Of PRblic land, embrace 25,-
al, 4Gl acres, and Of Indian lands 746,.
GS7 acres. making o total of 1855, 038
acres, being an increase over the year Of
1886 Of 3.73a,4zA acres. The receipts
from tho. dsposala Of public lands were
$40, T43, 92A from the sales of the Indian
lands al, 484, 800, total of $12,26S, 223,
being an increase. as compared with the
year 1886 of $3,247,72T, to which il to
DO added $8,291, received on account Of
timber depredations, and $12,493. re-
eeived for certified copies of the records
furnished by the general land office,
making the total receipts for the year
from all sources $l2, 2sO,OOs. The com.
missioner renews. his former recommen-
dation that forfeiture be declared in all
cases in which land grant railroads were
not completed within the time and in the
manner conditioned in the respective
grants. The investigation Of fraudulent
land entries, he says, has been salts
factorily conducted, and in no previous
year has so much effective work been
done by the small number Of special
agents employed. AS result Of their
Investigations 10000 acres were held
for cancellation and 10000 were cam
celled for fraud. Ten hundred and
eleven cases of depreciation or timber
trespass wore reported upon, and the
total amount actually recovered to the
government during the year through
Judgment, fines. sales of timber and
compromises was s12s,642, being s53,-
642 in excess Of the appropriations, near
ly all 81 which was recovered the first
half Of The fiscal year.

Seriously Injured.

EARLY Monday forenoon Ed. Rise,
prenan Of ONE Of the pile driving crews,
met With IN accident that may possibly
prove fatal. The workmen were en-
gagged in getting pile in position, when
they lost control of it and let it roll down
an embankment and IN the descent Rise
was struck by the log and knocked down.
From the manner in which the timber
bounded over him, it was first thought
that lie was but slightly injured. Upon
examination however, it was learned that
Rise had been struck on the back Of the
neck iniuring the bone SO as to seriously
affect the spinal cord, from which paraly-
sis resulted, the limbs and body being
completely paralized. Rise has not been
unconscious since being hurt, and fully
realizes the nature Of his injuries. He
is resting quite comfortably under the
circumstances, and will live for some
weeks at least, and may possibly recover.
He resides at Sioux City, is unmarried,
and rs about thirty-five years of age.
